New York City is indelibly etched as a land of skyscrapers and taxi horns, yet the city—and the state beyond—has undergone constant change. Here you'll find newly dug subway tunnels and parts of Coney Island now long gone, log cabins in Manhattan and jitterbugging at Harlem's Savoy Theater, the first hotels in the Catskills and the building boom in Buffalo. Nostalgic, educational, and just plain fun to browse through, this compact visual history depicts the life of New York in decades past through archival photos, postcards, and other captioned images that document its main attractions, architecture, changing scenery, evolving infrastructure, the home life, and local sports.
